A tiny story about pierogi, Toronto and timing before coffee

> Tiny progress is still progress.

That line sounds cheesy, but it got me through the part where soccer stopped feeling new.

My current rule is simple: if it takes less than 8 minutes to prepare, I am much more likely to keep doing it.

I had a disappointing first try, a surprisingly good second try, and then a third attempt that taught me humility. So, naturally, I now have opinions.

Maybe, but the tradeoff seems bigger than the post suggests. This pairs weirdly well with mango sticky rice. A tailwind can fix an entire personality for ten minutes.

Did anyone else read this and immediately make a tiny checklist? For me it came down to the setup.

This feels like advice from a patient friend. A little friction removed goes a long way.
